Partial Serial number

[Guest]

My computer crashed so I installed office 2002 on my laptop. Fortunately I
had written the serial number on the Office CD.

I own Outlook 2003 and want to install it over the 2002 version Office
installed. Unfortunately I didn't write the serial number on the disk. but
I have the first 3 segments of the serial number in the printout of my CD
Library. That's because the other segments got truncated in the too narrow
column that displays on the CD Library printout. The entire number is in
that data file of the CD library software but the data file is on my crashed
HD.

Is there a way for me to obtain the other 2 segments?

Have you considered putting your old Hard Drive as a Slave in your computer and then getting the number off by using Belarc Adv

I forgot to mention and did not explain properly because of my bad reading.

.. If you did not reformat the crashed Hard Drive then you should install it into any computer as a Slave to get the info off that you need using the Belarc Advisor

No, because I have not been able to recover the data off the crashed drive;
not at this point anyway...I'm working on that.

The problem is complicated by the fact the the CD Library program has not
been working and I was in the process of dealing with the problem on their
support site. I can't directly access the data in the CD Library data file
and, up until recently it was thought to be a hardware problem; the company
even sent me a new mother board for the hardware, which didn't solve the
problem. It complicated because the hardware is made by a different company
than the software.

It seems to me that I should be able to obtain the rest of the number
through MS; I'm pretty sure I registered the newer version, so my e-mail
address, phone numbers etc. should be proof enough that I am, in fact, the
owner of the program and that I am using the original CD, which I purchased
and registered.

The problem is, I don't know where to go to make my request; MS has so many
links!!!

You will need 'proof of purchase' in order for MS to supply replacement
software - registration doesnt do it I'm afraid
